Customer Reviews:

They keep getting better..........2005-03-11

This is an incredibly good album. So good that you have to question what is happening in the recording industry for it not to be selling millions. The songs are superbly crafted, the lyrics brimming with wit, intelligence and humour. If you've seen the band live you know they combine burlesque with punk with electonica with nudity and all abiding charm. Rudely engaging, a phrase used elsewhere in the life of the band's protagonist, Pinky Beecroft, is a fitting epithet for their work. They are extremely well versed in the history of popular and other forms of music. Listen and hear the influences, from Bootsy Collins to Ry Cooder, from Zappa to Tool to others which leave me slightly frightened - how did they manage to listen to all of this?

These tracks are unbelievably catchy. The hooks get into you from the first listen. The production values are high and sustain interest over repeated sessions. If someone took this album by the scruff of its neck and marketed it to the seething masses it would sell up a storm.

'Troublemaker' is infectious enough to start a pandemic. Try excising 'Hollywood's bassline from your brain. The melody of 'What the F***' will seduce you not long before you realise just how painful the lyric truly is - as an ironic anthem for the times this song is too perfect. 'Qweeny' has the distinction of being the only song ever to rhyme 'cor anglais' with 'neglige'. 'Growing' grinds along in a groove worthy of Sly Stone...after he'd been watching 'Paris, Texas'.
